Wings with Vanilla Coke Barbecue Sauce.

A little recipe inspired by the Superbowl and all things Americana. 

Because chicken wings are so cheap (like me), I dare say you can make this to serve four people for less than $15.

Ingredients.

The Chicken;

2kg Chicken Wings

Salt and Pepper

Olive Oil.

The Sauce;

2L Vanilla Coke.

1 cup Ketchup

2tbs Honey Mustard

1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar.

Salt and Pepper

Juice of 1/2 Lime.

Method.

Prepare the chicken wings by cutting them at each joint and discarding the wing tips as they do not yield much meat. 

In a bowl, season the wings with S&P and olive oil and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight (or whatever time you can spare).

For the sauce, pour the vanilla coke into a large stock pot and boil until the coke has reduced to around two cups.

Add the ketchup, mustard, vinegar and reduce the heat to a light simmer. Whisk until the ingredients are combined thoroughly and season the sauce depending on your preferences for sweetness, sourness or saltiness.   

When sauce is ready, transfer around one and a half cups of the sauce to the marinated wings, and marinate for a further half hour. 

Preheat the oven to 230 C, and place wings snuggly on baking trays (with baking paper) that  have been lightly oiled.

Cook for 20mins and turn wings over and cook for another 10-15mins.

Once the wings have been cooked, transfer them to the rest of the BBQ sauce and serve with a tree's worth of serviettes.
